Ideas for Raspberry Pi Zero Projects

spannerspencer
spannerspencer over 9 years ago

So, we've got the Raspberry Pi Zero games console here, Problemchild mentioned a great idea about turning an old stereo into a modern media player, and Workshopshed has already designed a Pi Zero case for 3D printing.


All of which makes me wonder what other kinds of projects you guys think the Pi Zero would be ideal for?

 

And, for that matter, if you have any Pi Zero projects planned yet?

    Considering making a low powered tablet. Between being able to solder on a wifi chip, and things you can clip onto the thing ot add audio out it's doable. Not having the pins makes things both harder and better since you can spread the components out.

     

    I do wonder if having a lipro charger AND the other two on GPIO would be doable but I dunno.. Literally there is a bunch I do not know, but at these prices theoretically I can afford to find out even through making a lot of stupid mistakes.

     

    Another idea is a device that when plugged into a computer/tablet's USB allows you to experience the internet of the 90's, complete with modem noises, wait times on page load, and other stuff. The problem is i literally have no idea how to do that.

    Sounds like a challenge to make upon yourself and test your abilities as well as your resolve.

    Poor vision (as in 20/500 without correction/20/250 with) and shakey hands when doing fine work sorta puts a crimp on that and getting help is.... iffy. i just want to see someone else do it so I know if it can be done, preferably with documentation in case I can change the 'getting help' situation.
